Textarea maximum size

The problem is with the form handler and not the textarea.
By "form handler" I mean the program that processes the stuff sent by the form when it is submitted. You can find its URL by looking at your form's action attribute (<form action="...">). Form handlers are typically files that end in .asp, .jsp, .pl, .cgi, .php etc.
Some bit of code within the form handler is not allowing the input from the textarea to be over a certain number (512) of characters.
To edit your form handler you have to be familiar with a computer language such as Perl or PHP, otherwise you need to have somebody knowledgable do it for you. Judging from your apparent situation, you may not even have access/permission to change this file. Check with your server's administrator.

Well, from glancing at your other posts it appears you'd probably already know all this stuff, and that your a JSP guy maybe?
Anyway, textareas don't have a size limit so the problem must be in the server.
